(CNN) President Donald Trump's budget director sent additional guidance to federal agencies Monday on employee training programs the White House deems anti-American propaganda. In the new memo, Russell Vought warned federal employees found to be conducting the type of trainings Trump wants to outlaw -- including those on critical race theory and unconscious bias -- could face punishment. "Agency employees and contractors are not to engage in divisive training of Federal workers. Noncompliance by continuing with prohibited training will result in consequences, which may include adverse action for Federal employees who violate the Order," reads the memo sent by Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget Director. Trump's attempt to stamp out federal anti-racism training programs appears, somewhat paradoxically, part of a broader push against so-called "cancel culture," which he has described as forcing political correctness on unwilling Americans.
